<ul>
<li><strong>Adding the login box
to your homepage</strong> is easy. To create a link like this:
<strong>
<?php
$location = "members/";
include("include-login-form.php");
?>
</strong> (which displays the
login box within your page). All you need to do is add the PHP code below to your
homepage:<br />
<textarea rows="4" name="textarea" cols="130" style="font-size:9pt">&lt;?php
$location = "members-section/members/";//use this setting to include the link on your homepage or any other page on your root
include("members-section/include-login-form.php");
?&gt;</textarea>
<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><strong><font color="#0000FF">*</font></strong> <font color="#000000"><strong>When testing a new member account</strong><br />
There is no need to log off from your admin area, you can now login automatically just <a href="view.php"></a>search for a member then
&quot;<strong>LOGIN as this member</strong>&quot;link.</font>
<br />
<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><font color="#000000"><strong>Creating private content</strong><br />
(allows you to provide individual files for each member if required)<br />
</font><br />
<font color="#000000">To activate this all you need to do is:
<ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>Your system will automatically create private
folders - to change this alter the </strong> <em>CREATE_PRIVATE_FOLDERS</em> constant in the
file: /members/constants.php <br />
New folders are automatically created in
this location: <br />
<strong>/members/content/Private_folders_ONLY/[username]/ </strong><br />
So if their username was &quot;hide@address.com&quot; it would be: <br />
<strong>/members/content/Private_folders_ONLY/them-at-theirdomain.com/</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><font color="#0000FF">*</font></strong> new folders are now created by replacing the &quot;@&quot; with &quot;-at-&quot; <br />
(if old folders exist with the &quot;@&quot; symbol then it will still work) <br />
<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Set the folder: <br />
<strong>/members/content/Private_folders_ONLY/</strong><br />
to <em>read and write</em> - chmod to 777 (there are <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ftp+%22how+to%22+chmod&amp;">several help pages devoted to this task here</a>) <br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Then, each time a new member joins the files, if any
exist, will be copied from: <br />
<br />
<strong>/members/content/DEFAULT_specific_member_pages/</strong><br />
<br />
to the new folder automatically. </li>
</ol>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><font color="#000000"><strong>Optional config:</strong><br />
change the constant in the file: /php-lib/constants.php <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;YOUR_PERSONAL_FILES by default is set to &quot;Your personal files&quot; </font></p>
<p><em><font color="#000000">ONLY when there are files (.html or .php)
within a members folder will the personal menu appear.</font></em><br />
</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li><strong>Display a Notice to New members </strong>- displayed to new members on first login only.<br />
New members will be shown the file: <br />
/members/content/NEW-member-welcome.html<br />
<br />
This is shown just once, on first login if the constant <em> SHOW_NEW_MEMBER_WELCOME</em>
is set to true in the file: /members/constants.php

<li><strong>Integrating phpBB forum<br>
</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Note: You must make a separate install of <a

&nbsp; BACKUP now, wait, someone will still not bother!&nbsp; <br>

<blockquote>
<p><font color="#000000">If you intend to use WMM as your
authentication system (allowing automatic access to phpBB by all existing and new
WMM members) then complete the following:</font>
<ul>
<li><font color="#000000">edit the file: <strong>/members/constants.php<br>
</strong>changing the constant FORUM_ENABLED to true<br />
<br />
</font></li>
<li><font color="#000000">edit the phpBB register file:<br />
<em>/forum/styles/[style-name]/template/ucp_register.html</em><br />
<br />
Remove the HTML and replace with your own HTML such as: <br />
</font>
<br />
<font color="#0000FF"><strong>Please login or register here:
<br />
[create a link to your WMM login page]</strong></font> <strong><br />
</strong></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p align="left"><font color="#000000"><strong>Note:</strong> you may also need to amend
the constants: FORUM_LOCATION and FORUM_FOLDER_NAME within the <strong>/members/constants.php</strong>
file.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The default settings are for the following folder
structure:<strong><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="images/phpbb_structure.gif"
width="144" height="49"></strong></font><br>
<font color="#000000">Also, for this to work correctly both
WMM and phpBB need to be on the same domain/web space (but can use the same
<strong>or</strong> different databases).&nbsp; When setup you will be able to access your
phpBB forum as an administrator from the <a href="get_details.php">main menu</a> (system
watch section).<br>
<br>
<strong>Creating a link to the forum</strong> - use the file:<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; /members/content/Forum (phpBB access).html <br>
or just make a link to /members/phpbb/_phpbb_login.php<br>
it is secure to link directly to this file - only if your member is logged
in will they be logged into your forum.<br>
<br>
<strong>Existing phpBB members!<br>
</strong>If existing phpBB members logs into phpBB from within WMM then it will create a new phpBB account, unless they have logged into phpBB via WMM previously.<br />
If you have phpBB members who wish to retain their existing forum account then ask them to login to the forum as normal via the phpBB login page. <br />
<br />
</font><br />
<font color="#000000"> <strong>New phpBB members</strong> <br />
The new
username will be the same as the WMM username
(trimmed to maximum length of 250 characters) with the &quot;@&quot; symbol
replaced with &quot; - &quot; (space hyphen space), this is done to prevent spam bots
collecting email addresses. &nbsp; </font><br>
<br>
<font color="#000000"><strong>Restricting access to phpBB</strong><br>
Login as an
administrator to phpBB and Go to Administration Panel<br>
- then click on the permissions link on the left.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For more details on this please refer to the</font> <a
href="http://www.phpbb.com/" target="_blank">phpBB site</a>.</p>

</strong>Changing the headers can result in errors as these contain PHP. &nbsp;&nbsp;

If you take a look at the <a href="http://demo.websitemembermanager.com/members-section/members/register">demo</a> it shows how easy it is to add/remove inputs.<br />
<br />
EDIT: /html-members/register.html <br />
<br />
change the second line from: <br />
<strong>var inputs_to_remove=[&quot;companyname&quot;, &quot;address1&quot;, &quot;address2&quot;, &quot;country&quot;, &quot;postcode&quot;, &quot;tel&quot;, &quot;mobile&quot;, &quot;comments&quot;, &quot;heardaboutusfrom&quot;]</strong><br />

<strong>var inputs_to_remove=[ &quot;country&quot;, &quot;postcode&quot;, &quot;tel&quot;, &quot;mobile&quot;, &quot;comments&quot;, &quot;heardaboutusfrom&quot;]</strong><br />

<li><font color="#000000"><strong>New members - registration completed: Changing the final

The message displayed to NEW members having just registered is either

manual or not.&nbsp; You can change this in <strong>/members/constants..php</strong>
file.</font>
